Slight confusion here. In the tcpwrappers page I read the following.
==============================================================
Configuring Tcpwrappers
As the root user, perform the following edits on the /etc/inetd.conf
configuration file:
finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.fingerd in.fingerd
becomes:
finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.fingerd
Similar changes must be made if xinetd is used, with the emphasis being on
calling /usr/sbin/tcpd instead of calling the service daemon directly, and
passing the name of the service daemon to tcpd.
==============================================================
Ok, for some reason (why?) it is better to change the default lines in the
inetd scripts, involving the daemon process. However, on the page for
building xinetd there are a bunch of default xinetd scripts where this has
not been changed in this way. The tcpwrappers says it is best to change
these as well if xinetd is being used. May I suggest changing the default
scripts on the xinetd installation page? Or some explanation about what this
change means.
